When children are in our care, safety is not a checklist. It is a culture. Every element of Coacharoo’s operations, from vehicle maintenance through to driver conduct, is built around protecting the students and young people we transport across Sydney every single day.

The Working with Children Check (WWCC) is a mandatory requirement for all persons who work or volunteer in child-related roles in NSW. Every Coacharoo driver holds a current, valid WWCC before they are ever permitted to transport students. The WWCC involves:

• A National Police Check and criminal history record check
• A review of reportable workplace misconduct
• Ongoing monitoring by the Office of the Children’s Guardian NSW
• Regular renewal as required under NSW legislation

All drivers display their Driver’s Authority card and can present WWCC documentation to school staff upon request. Schools and childcare centres can have complete confidence that every Coacharoo driver is appropriately cleared and fully compliant.

All Coacharoo buses, minibuses and coaches are accredited by Transport for NSW (TfNSW) and maintained in full compliance with Service NSW regulations. Our strict maintenance programme includes:

• Mandatory vehicle inspections every 6 months through authorised Service NSW facilities
• Pre-trip safety checks before every single journey
• Regular mechanical servicing and preventative maintenance schedules
• Seatbelt vehicles can be confirmed on booking, with seatbelts checked before every trip
• Air conditioning systems serviced and operational across the entire fleet
• All vehicles cleaned and presented to the highest standard

Our commitment to vehicle safety is unwavering. Every coach and minibus you book with Coacharoo meets or exceeds NSW road safety standards.

Coacharoo operates school bus and coach charter services across the entire Greater Sydney metropolitan area and beyond. No matter which Sydney council area your school or childcare centre is located in, we can plan and deliver your transport needs.
